That Hat: We Have Motif!

Size H crochet hook
oddball of ribbon yarn, no band

I went through my crochet stitch dictionaries and vintage crochet pamphlets and came up with nothing. Thinking back, I figured that if I couldn't find it in my current collection, the motif probably came from a hippie-era book or Maggie Righetti's Crocheting in Plain English. One thing about the way I move (I sell or give away most of my belongings, books included) is that my home library is not stable. I'll check the next time I'm at the public library. I'm going to get some prep work for tomorrow's lunch done, and then I'm going to sit down with a skein of Blue Sky Alpacas Organic Cotton. This time around, I'm going to make sure I have the pattern written down and scanned into my laptop and saved to a flash drive along with photos of the finished items.
